Dear Linda,
How are you getting on I’m writing this email to share a story with you. As we know, most people have heroes in their hearts. For me, Dr. Zhong Nanshan is my hero in my heart. He graduated from Beijing Medical College. He is one of the famous doctors in China.
In the winter of 2019, the COVID-19 broke out in China and across the whole world. Zhong Nanshan not only led but also took an active part in the battle against it. He worked hard day and night treating the patients. With the help of him, soon the COVID-19 was under control.
He is a good doctor as well as a great hero in my heart. I think a hero should not only be brave, but also be ready to help others.
Yours,
Li Hua

Do you have the experience of taking music lessons against your wishes Perhaps you have complained about it because you thought it took you much playtime. But now you’d better thank your parents for their time and money spent on your musical training. A recent study suggests music lessons can make children have better memories than their peers(同龄人).
The Canadian study showed that after one year of musical training, children did better on a memory test than those who didn’t take music lessons.
The researchers made the children aged between 4 and 6 into two groups—one group of children took music lessons outside school, and the other didn’t take any musical training. In one year, they took four tests in different times. The results showed brain(大脑) development changes at least every four months.
The children taking music lessons not only did better in musical listening but also made faster progress in other ways, such as reading, writing, Maths and IQ.
People say music is the good medicine for a broken heart. Now it seems music can also help us to improve our memories. We are sure to find more and more in the wonderful world of music.
47．What can we learn from the first paragraph
A．You get well after you take music lessons.
B．You will make faster progress in every way.
C．Music can help you to improve your memories.
48．How often does the brain development change according to the Canadian study
A．Once a week. B．At least every four month. C．Twice half a year.
49．What does the writer intend(打算) to tell us in the last paragraph
A．Music is a good thing.
B．Music can only make us happy.
C．Everybody should take musical training.

From an early age, we were taught that if we wanted to be successful, we had to study hard and get good results at school. In fact, good students may just end up doing jobs they don’t like, and some even lead an unhappy life. Why is it like that
In some parents’ eyes, school grades matter most for their kids. In reality, there are many things to consider besides the school subjects, for example, how to be a happy person, what to do to keep healthy, and how to get along well with others. That is to say, school is not just enough if you want to have a great life.
Doing well in school is different from doing well in life. Studies show that people who failed at school may not end up failing in life. You may have already known that some famous people, like Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs, didn’t do very well at school or even failed to finish school. In fact, there are a lot more than just the big shots who are successful in life without finishing school. They seize (抓住) every chance to learn and finally make it to the top.
Life is really a long lesson, so long that you can’t define (界定) a person’s success by just one section (部分) of it. If you have already finished school, keep learning because what you have learned at school will never be enough to live a satisfying life. If you are still studying, whether you are good or bad at school, don’t take your school results too seriously as long as you have put your heart into it. Keep learning to make the most of your talents (天赋). That’s how you can live a happy and successful life.
51．What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing Paragraph (段落) One
A．To introduce a topic. B．To give examples. C．To provide a solution.
52．In some parents’ eyes, what’s the most important for their kids based on Paragraph Two
A．Being happy. B．Staying healthy. C．Getting good grades.
53．What does the underlined expression “big shots” in the third paragraph mean
A．好学生 B．神枪手 C．大人物
54．According to the passage, which sentence may agree with the writer’s idea
A．It takes money to be successful. B．School grades aren’t everything
C．Successful people never finish school.
55．What can we infer (推断) from the text
A．Old habits die hard. B．Learning is a lifelong journey.
C．Good grades always promise a successful life.

There are a lot of websites offering advice about the best ways to learn languages. 56 However, language learning is something that will take you a lifetime. It’s impossible to learn a language in only a few weeks.
The thought of learning a language can be quite scary. Many people never try, as they listen to that voice in their heads that keeps telling them they can’t do it because it’s too much work. 57 When you achieve each one, you feel good and the fear goes away.
Most language experts agree it’s better to learn new words and grammar by using topics that interest you. Reading long lists of words is not a good way of learning new vocabulary. 58 Reading those words in an interesting article, however, might not make you sleepy and is a much better way to remember them.
Many people will tell you that you can only really learn a language when you’re young. 59 Instead, just keep on learning because there’s plenty of evidence（证据）to show that adults can become just as good though they learn in different ways from children.
Learning more about your own language can actually help you when it comes to trying a new language. As you see, if you want to learn to use anything well, you need to understand how it works, and languages are no different 60 And then use your knowledge of that language to help you develop skills in the new language.
A．Most people also find it very boring. B．Don’t listen to them because it’s simply not true. C．Try to understand how your own language works. D．Some of them say you can learn a language in only a few weeks. E．That’s why it’s important to break your learning up into small, clear goals.
第三节 阅读回答问题 （共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分）
阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题。
Rice is one of the most commonly eaten basic foods around the world. Buying it and cooking it is a daily matter. Yet for many, its presence has been a matter of life and death. It is a main food because it is easy to grow, besides low cost and convenience. A poor community in the developing world may find it difficult to bring in foreign fruits or raise cattle for meat, but it can almost certainly use the land it has in order to grow plenty of rice.
This was the great achievement of Yuan Longping, who passed away on May 22 ,2021. A great Chinese scientist, Yuan successfully developed what is known as “hybrid rice” which can produce up a 30% higher output. Yuan Longping was born in the year 1930, a time when China was very different. It was a nation, without modern industry, depending on the rice which they grew. The first few decades (十年) of his life were met with major social events, and a rapidly growing population that made food supply not last all the time. This experience left its mark on Yuan Longping, which made him focus on (关注) farming science and work on his research of hybrid rice.
His achievement would see the rice supply in China increasing from 56.9 million tons in 1950 to 194.7 million tons by 2017. By 1991, 20% of the world’s rice output came from hybrid rice, even if only being planted in 10% of fields.
Always remember, human development begins first with the most basic and sample things, such as developing rice. We should be thankful for scientific thinkers like Yuan.
